Better When I’m Drunk starts with a funky instrumental and one that I can't help but every time I hear it get up instantly and start dancing. Better When I'm Drunk is one song that I loved right from the off instantly giving me a Carrie Underwood feel which I absolutely adore. The first verse is very upbeat and sets the mood for the song showing us who Twinnie is as an artist which the audience love a lot. The chorus is absoultely stunning and the perfect song for when you are getting ready for a night out. Twinnie has the opportunity to show of the bubbly side of her personality and song-writing abilities. All three verses of the song tell a wonderful story in which you can’t help but to relate if you have ever been drunk and in that position. The second and third verses features some of my favourite lyrics and definitely the most needed when you wake up from a night out. Twinnie’s vocal range is demonstrated wonderful and the perfect song for Twinnie's debut album.

The chorus is one of pure female empowerment giving me goosebumps every time I hear it.

The final chorus brings I Love You Now Change to it's natural end in one of the most beautiful ways.
